“…The content validity of the Anger Rumination Scale was assessed by the judgment of ten psychology experts, and Kendall's agreement coefficients for the total anger rumination scale, angry afterthoughts, vengeful thoughts, angry memories, and understanding of causes were calculated as 0.70, 0.82, 0.79, 0.70, and 0.78, respectively. The convergent and discriminant (differential) validity of the Anger Rumination Scale was confirmed through simultaneous administration of the Tehran Multidimensional Anger Scale and the Mental Health Scale on participants (Polat & Asi Karakaş, 2021;Teymouri et al, 2020).…”

“…The intervention protocol for this study, focusing on emotion-focused therapy (EFT) aimed at enhancing assertiveness and reducing anger rumination in women victims of domestic violence, unfolds over nine sessions (Firoozeh et al, 2021;Piquero et al, 2021;Polat & Asi Karakaş, 2021;Saeidi et al, 2020):…”

“…Emotions can be short-lived, like the upset from a dissolved business partnership, or long-term, like the enduring grief from a lost romantic relationship. Nonetheless, emotions have several fundamental benefits (Caselli et al, 2017;Polat & Asi Karakaş, 2021;Teymouri et al, 2020). On the other hand, the emotion-focused approach was developed by Greenberg and Johnson in the early 1980s, based on humanistic and experiential therapy systems theory and attachment theory (Watson & Sharbanee, 2021;Watson & Greenberg, 2017).…”

Objective: Domestic violence, or violence against women within the family, is the most common form of violence. The current study aimed to determine the effectiveness of emotion-focused therapy on assertiveness and anger rumination in women victims of domestic violence. Methods and Materials: This study was a quasi-experimental research with a pre-test - post-test design. The population consisted of all women victims of domestic violence in Isfahan city in the year 2023. In this study, 26 women victims of domestic violence were selected using a purposive non-random method and then randomly assigned into an experimental group (13 persons) and a control group (13 persons). The experimental group participated in 9 sessions of emotion-focused therapy and eventually, after attrition, 12 participants successfully completed the treatment. The control group did not receive any intervention. It is worth noting that to equate the number of participants in both the experimental and control groups, members were randomly removed from the control group equivalent to the attrition in the experimental group. In this research, the Gambrill and Richey (1975) Assertiveness Questionnaire and the Spielberger et al. (2001) Anger Rumination Scale were used. The collected data were analyzed using multivariate and univariate covariance analysis statistical models and SPSS.22 software. Findings: The results showed that emotion-focused therapy significantly improved assertiveness (F=26.28, P<0.001) and anger rumination (F=44.93, P<0.001). Conclusion: Based on the findings of the current study, interventions based on this approach can effectively improve assertiveness and anger rumination in women victims of domestic violence.

“…Our results were in line with Polat & Karakaş (2021), who conducted a randomized control trial to examine the impact of ACT therapy-oriented anger management training on anger rumination and impulsivity levels in individuals receiving forensic mental healthcare. They discovered that the experimental group’s total scores on the Barratt Impulsiveness and Anger Rumination Scales were significantly lower than those of the control group [ 38 ]. In this context, Baghani & Akbari (2020) confirmed that cognitive defusion, the effect of thought (such as the desire to use) on behavior in acceptance and commitment therapy, can explain why ACT therapy effectively reduces the impulsivity components of women who abuse drugs.…”

Background Among people with bipolar disorders, there are high rates of impulsivity and suicide attempts. Efforts to reduce suicide are hindered by the lack of conclusive evidence on interventional programs for those at risk. Thus, this work evaluated the efficacy of acceptance and commitment therapy on impulsivity and suicidality among bipolar clients. Methods In a randomized controlled trial, 30 eligible clients with bipolar disorders were given Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and 30 eligible clients for the control group were chosen randomly at a 1:1 ratio using Research Randomizer version 4.0. Clients completed the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire II, the Short Arabic Version of the Impulsivity Behavior Scale, and the Arabic Version of the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation. Results It can be observed that there was a statistically significant decrement in the mean scores of psychological inflexibility among the study group between baseline value (T0), posttest measurement (T1), and post-two-month follow-up (T2), from 32.91 SD (6.03) to 23.06 SD (6.22) post and 26.83 SD (3.49) post-two months, with an effect size of 0.846 (P < 0.001), compared to the control group, which revealed an increase in the mean score. The overall impulsivity among the study group between T0, T1, and T2 was 61.27 SD (4.57) to 46.83 SD (4.47) post- and 43.0 SD (5.30) post-two months, with an effect size of 0.906 (P < 0.001). Compared to the control group, which revealed a relative increase in the mean impulsivity score at the post- and post-two-month intervals, the Arabic Versions of the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation Scale mean score before the intervention was 16.33 SD (6.08), then the post was 7.23 SD (4.72), and the post-two-month mean was 10.13 SD (5.49) with an effect size of 0.878 (P < 0.001) among the study group. On the other hand, mean scores of “suicide ideation” among clients in the control group increased posttest and nearly returned to the same value after two months. Conclusion For bipolar clients suffering from suicidal thoughts and impulsive behaviors, acceptance and commitment therapy, an emerging third-wave behavior therapy, is an effective intervention. Trial registration The study was registered retrospectively with reference number NCT05693389 on 23/1/2023, available at: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05693389.

“…A single‐case study by Moeller et al (2021) substantively portrays the application of a rumination‐focused CBT for anger with a schizotypal patient, obtaining meaningful clinical change in anger scores and in violent imagery, although not in anger rumination scores. However, a recent randomized controlled trial by Polat and Karakas (2021), conducted with forensic patients receiving acceptance and commitment therapy, obtained significant and substantial reductions in anger rumination in the anger treatment condition. Given that forensic populations and other long‐term care patients likely have traumatic life histories in which anger schemas and aggressive behavior scripts have been formed, there is much to be gained in the amelioration of their anger ruminative routines.…”

Anger rumination and imagined violence as related to violent behavior before and after psychiatric hospitalization

et al. 2022

Objective: Anger rumination and imagined violence, in the context of anger/aggression proclivity, are examined for their direct and conjoint associations with violent behavior by psychiatric patients. Method: A secondary analysis of data from the MacArthur Violence Risk Study was conducted with 1136 acute civil commitment patients, assessed during hospitalization and after hospital discharge. Anger/aggression proclivity was assessed with the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale hostility subscale, anger rumination was indexed using items from the Novaco Anger Scale, and imagined violence was measured with Grisso's Schedule of Imagined Violence. Violence, prehospitalization and posthospitalization, was indexed by the MacArthur project measure.Results: Correlational analyses, mediation analyses, and moderated mediation analyses were conducted. Anger rumination significantly predicted pre-and posthospitalization violence, when controlling for age, sex, race, childhood physical abuse, and anger/aggression proclivity; and it partially mediated the relation between anger/aggression proclivity and violence.Imagined violence and anger rumination were highly interrelated. When imagined violence was added to the regression model, it was a significant predictor of prehospitalization violence; however, it did not moderate the association of anger rumination with pre-or posthospitalization violence.
